Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. '12, 1921.

Application filed March 24, 1920. Serial No. 368,452

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ULYssns V. GARRED, cltizen of the United States, residing at Lexington, in the county of Fayette and" State of Kentucky, have invented a certain new and useful Memorandum Attachment for Albums, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in what may betermed'memorandum attachments for albums. I

The invention has for its object primarily to provide, as stated, for the ready attachment of a memorandum slip to an album.

A further object is to provide for simplifying the construction of the device in lessening the number of the constituent parts of and preventing the liability of the inadvertent detachment of the retaining means for the memorandum tablet from the album.

A still further object is to providefor carrying out the aforesaid purposes in a ready and effective manner.

Still further objects of the invention will appear from the following disclosure of the construction, arrangement and operation thereof.

The invention consists of certain instrumentalities and features of construction substantially as hereinafter more fully disclosed and defined by the appended claims.

The accompanying drawing illustrates the preferred embodiment or one example of my invention wherein it will be understood that various changes and modifications as to the detailed construction and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the spiritor scope of the invention as covered by the claims, and in which drawing Figure 1 is an isometric perspective view of my invention.

Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section, taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Figs. 3, 4, 5 and 6 represent disassembled perspective views of the respective elements of my invention, including the picture-element.

As characteristic features or elements of my invention, I dispense herein with the clips or fastenings as heretofore employed for the attachment of the device to the album, and provide, in lieu thereof, a flexible strip element or member 2 whose upper and lower surfaces have applied thereto, along the transverse edges thereof an adhesive as at 3 and'4, respectively, as shown particularly in Fig. 6. By this arrangement it will be'seen that the flexible-strip element or member 2 is adapted to be automatically held down or stuck to the album or. book.

leaf by means-of the lower layers of adhesive 4, while the'upperlayers of adhesive 3 providefo'r the like attachment or application of the picture-element 11 to thefiexiblestrip element 2, as'clearly seen in Fig. 1, whereby said flexible-strip element serves in the two-fold capacity of efl'ectively securing in fixed position to the album the picture-element and providing for housing or pocketing the memorandum slip or member 9, said memorandum slip or member having a tab for its manipulation, as clearly shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 4. The element 5 is suitably crimped or creased, as shown, which is common to my former cases, and is adhesively secured at its opposite ends as at 6 and 7 to the corresponding ends of the elements 2 and 9 as at 8 and 10, respectively, whereby said memorandum-actuating element, as the memorandum element is returned to initial retracted or concealed position as disclosed in Figs. 1 and 2 between the elements 2 and 11, will be wedged.

or crowded and held therein against displacement. g

It is considered that from the foregoing description and illustration, my invention will be fully understood and its advantages be appreciated.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is 1. A device of the type described, including a pad adapted to be connected to a photograph-album or like instrumentality along opposite edges thereof, a memorandum tablet, a picture element, and means for manipulating said memorandum tablet, and means of connection between said memo.- randum tablet and said first-referred to element, said pad and picture element being adapted to incase the other elements.

2. A device of the type described, including a pad having layers of adhesive material applied to its opposite sides along opposite said pad, said first-referred to element and said picture-element incasing the other elements, said adhesive layers of pad effecting connection between the picture element and the album leaf. Y

3. A device-of the typedescribed, including a photograph-album, an element having layers of adhesive material applied to its opposite sides, along opposite edges thereof, a picture-element, a memorandum-tablet, an element for manipulating said memorandum tablet, a foldable element between said memorandum-tablet and the element having adhesive thereon, said adhesive-material-layers effecting connection between the picture- 7 element, the album, and the element having said adhesive thereon forming a housing for i the memorandum tablet.

opposite edges to said pad, the body portion of the picture spaced apart from the pad to provide a housing for a memorandum tablet, and means for retarding the outwardmovement of the memorandum tablet from the said housing. V

5. A device of the type'described, includinga pad secured by adhesive to an album leaf, a picture adhesively secured along two opposite edges to said pad, the body portion of the picture spaced apart from the pad to provide a housing .for a memorandum I a tablet, and a creased member connecting the memorandum tablet with the pad and causing a wedging effect between the pad and the tablet when the latter moves outwardly from its housing.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
